    Reanaultsport Megane 250

    Must admit, I actually like it, and I didn't expect to.

    http://www.autocar.co.uk/CarReviews/...rt-250/244208/

    Personally speaking, it's the kind of car - Hot Hatch - that should be in the WRC - get back to Production based cars.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    Can't wait for the stripped-back R-spec to tackle the Nurburgring.

    Not hugely keen on it but I'm sure it'll be a great drive.
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    Doesn't Renault Megane have a brother named Paul?

    The Megane II hatch was a truly horrid looking thing, from the same design team that brought you the abortion on wheels the Vel Satis. The Megane III is a vast improvement.

    I really hope that they haven't tweaked too much with the geometry and suspension on the car though. The Renaultsport Megane 225 I imagine was probably even better than the regular Megane which felt nice to drive. The Megane III I should imagine should be better with another 50 horsies to play with under the right foot.

    I'm wondering though with that pinched D-pillar (?), how good the vision out of the rear of the car is though. The Megane II had a bay window in the back (and a little flower box underneath), but I wonder if this will suffer the same sort of vision problems as the Impreza or the Mazda 3.
    The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

    If you want crappy vision try the 500. Rear side windows are just useless.
